I landed a few hundred meters away from the village in the forest and walked the rest to Alice in hope, that she´ll fix my top.

* I will just say, that I climbed a tree and it tattered while I got down.-

I opened the door and walked silently to the mountain of clothes.

* If I am correct, she should sleep in there like the last two times.-

I went around the mountain and there she was sleeping...

* Now what I think I´ll lay down next to her and see what happens after that^^.-

I did as I thought and laid myself next to her and used her breasts as a pillow.

* It is wonderful, that I am a girl, I´ll even be able to do this when I am all grown up because no woman is assuming that I have ulterior motives HAHAHA. Now let´s sleep, she is quite soft...-

Her only respond was a small moan and she even hugged me back.

A few ours later I woke  up from a sound . The door was opened.

“Alice has you seen Clair?” could be mom.

“Hmm, who is it? And why is something heavy on my stomach?”Alice mumbled.

“It´s me, Maia, I am searching Clair. Did you see her?”Mom

Alice tried to stand up, but I was in the way, so she looked down and said questioning me.

“Clair why are yo on my stomach?”

“Clair is here?” Mom asked

“Morning” I beamed a smile in her face.

“I wanted to ask you something and found you napping, so I joined you. “I said

“Oh, what do you want to ask?” Alice asked.

“I climbed a tree and while I climbed, I got my top ripped, so I thought I ask you to teach me how to stitch so that I can repair it myself.” Two birds with one stone I thought.

“Did you hurt yourself?” Mom asked worried.

She came around the mountain and looked all over me searching for a wound.

“No mom, it just ripped.” I reached into my rope and took the ripped top out of my inventory.

“Be careful sweety, I don´t want to see you hurt,” She said.

“Hmm this is indeed ripped, sorry the whole sleeve is ruined I can´t save that,” Alice said while looking at my top.

“Sorry, mom. “ I said with tears in my eyes while I looked up to her.

“Na, Na that´s not a problem and I´m sure Alice will teach you. Would you be so kind Alice?” Mom tried to assure me that there is nothing wrong.

“I sure could, so then Clair if you want to learn come tomorrow and I show you the basics.”Alice

“Thank you, ”I said while hugging her.

* It sure feels nice to hug, I seldom did it in my old world, probably because I was a man and not really a social one.-

After that, Alice and I stood up and Mom said I have to choose a new top.

It did not take me long to choose one, I never thought much about my appearance and I will soon make my own cool clothes.

Then mom and I walked home where dad was still forging swords.

I walked next to him and asked.

“Dad can I help you?”

“Oh, hi sweety. If you want. Then could you take over for me a few minutes? I´d like to drink something. “ He said.

“Sure what are you doing?”Me

“Nails,” He said while giving me the hammer and tongs.

The rest of the day I helped him and fell fast asleep.

After breakfast on the next morning, I went to Alice who was like always, sleeping.

* Is she only sleeping?-

I poked her cheek until she opened her eyes.

“Is it already morning?” Sleepy Alice.

“H~i Alice you promised me to teach me how to stitch,” I said as sweet as I could

* Dammit was that sweet, acting skill sure earns his money.-

“Wait a moment, I fetch the sewing kit.” Alice said and rummaged through a pile of different things.

“Ah here it is, now Clair you have to hold the fabric like this and sew it together. “Alice said while showing me how to stitch and sew.

Bing!

Skill;

Sewing

Poor people have to make their

clothes themselves so they learned

how to sew, even you can do it. LV 0

* Great, now I just have to learn how to make armors.-

“Ähm Alice do you also know how to make armors?”I asked.

“Armors why? Do you need one?”She replied.

“I think I´ll become an adventurer in the future and it would be best to make my own armors.”Me

“That indeed would be good, I can show you the basics but nothing more, I never was good at it.”Alice

“Okay, I´ll just teach the rest myself.”Me

“But we need leather for that and I don´t have some here.”Alice

“I could hunt some wolves”I offered.

“I can´t let that happen if something happens to you, Maia would kill me.”Alice denied my offer.

“But I am sure I can handle wolves with my magic.”I defended my offer.

“Hmm, then you have to show me. If you are able to burn a tree I´ll allow it. “Alice tried to make a compromise.

“Easy, come,” I said while pulling her on the arm out of the shop

We went to a tree near the forest and I asked.

“Do I have to turn it into ashes or is it enough to let it burn?”

“Ashes,” Alice said in a tone that clearly says that she is not expecting me to do it.

“Ok” Me

I imagined a fire that will enclose the tree and that will be 10.000 °C hot.

A really hot fire appeared on the tree and burned it down in a few seconds, then it extinguished itself because I stopped the mana supply.

Alice stood next to me with an open mouth.

“So now you won't say something when I´ll bring you wolf pelts, am I right?” I said smirking.

This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

“Ähm, ää.... yes. Bring the pelt and I´ll teach you. “She admitted her defeat.

“Good then if you´ll excuse me I´ll go hunting some wolves. “I said while walking into the forest.

I haven´t had to search for them because my map showed them after I activated the option to show all enemy´s.

Sadly it did not show me which monster was which red dot. So I first encountered a bear.

* well, a bear will do it as well-

I sneaked up on it from behind and jumped on its neck. Where I wanted to break it, but I couldn't,

my damned arms were not long enough.

The bear started to jump in order to get me down from him.

* Ok change of plans I´ll just crush his skull. -

I lunged out and punched on the back of his head.

His skull made the sound like bones are breaking and he got instantly limp.

* Now I have to skin him, but I never did it I should first try it with a rabbit or something else smaller.

So I run to a bunch of red dots and there they were, wolves.

* I have to kill them without damaging the pelt.-

I jumped around them, while breaking their necks.

* Now how does skinning work? Well I have 8 wolves and a bear to try... but first I have to take off my clothes or else I would get bloody.-

I undressed and am now standing naked over a dead wolf.

* This sight sure would look creepy, a young elven girl, standing naked over a wolf who has a broken neck.... Well, I have to work.

I took a dagger out of the inventory and cut into the wolf. A large gush of blood greeted me.

Uh, this things stinks.

Bing!

Skill:

Fine Nose

With this skill, you could make rival a hunting dog.

Your sense of taste would also rise.

* I definitely won´t put points in that skill.-

I continued with my more butcher like skinning and had finally, after many minutes of nearly bathing in blood, a not really good looking pelt.

Bing!

Skill:

Furrier

The art of skinning animals

and selling them further for money.

* Ok maxed, and then 9 animals to go.

With the skill on maxed level, it went fairly quick and now I have 8 wolf pelts and a bear pelt.

* Now a bath and then I have to ask Alice how to tan these pelts.

I put the body's in my inventory and got dressed again.

After a quick jog back to the village, I reached Alice´s shop.

I opened the door and Alice stood there with a wood rack and a knife.

“I´m back, what are you going to do with that knife?”I said

“So quick did you not found something?” She asked

“I did, I have 7 good wolf pelts and a bear pelt” I obviously won't tell her about my failed first try.

“What so much? “Her eyes went wide.

“So how do we get leather?”I changed the topic.

“ We need to skin them in two parts, the first is the pelt and the second is the hide directly under the soft pelt. So where did you killed them we have to be fast or else other animals will eat them.”

I stepped out of her sight and took the pelts out off my inventory.

“I have them here, I already skinned them, but both pelt and hide are connected,”I called.

“You already skinned them? Then we hardly can use them, amateurs can´t skin the pelt good enough for both parts.”She said with an almost sad tone.

“But I think I did it really good look.”I ushered her to come and see for herself.

She came around and lifted one of the pelts.

“Are you sure that you skinned these? They are perfect.”She commented what she saw.

“Do you want to say that I stole them?” I said a little angry

“No, no they are just too good for an amateur.”She defended herself

“I am a genius in many things. No how do we make leather.” I replied.

“We have to sever the pelt from the hide and stretch it over this wood rack” And dry it in the sun.

We severed the pelt from the hide and stretched it. After that, we put the wood racks in the sun.

And Alice said.

“Now we have to wait, I say Maia when it is finished and then we will continue.”

“Ok, then I´ll go home. See you.”Me

“Yes see you,”Alice replied.

I went home, where mom already was making dinner.

“I´m back,” I said while walking in.

“Welcome home sweety, could you get Kurt? Dinner is ready.”She asked.

“Yes.”Me

I searched dad and found him sleeping in his room.

I leaned over him and started to poke his nose.

“Hmrrmm”Dad

“Wake up dad dinner is ready” I whispered in his ear.

“Just a little longer” He said while he turned around.

“Nope, we have to eat,” I said now shaking him

“Hmm? I´m awake, I´m awake...”He jolted up.

“Good then come down mom is waiting,” I said while I walked out.

Down in the kitchen I sat down and we waited for dad who soon came.

A few minutes after dinner mom began to speak.

“Sweety tomorrow is the school day, do you want to go?”

“School day? Sure, it will be interesting.”I said.

“Then I´ll say Gerog that you will attend his lesson.”Mom

“Thanks” Me

We continued with small talk and I went to sleep.
